Let's get ready for November elections, what to do If's

Ok i'm thinking, in lots of states ICE will cause major trouble in certain states. (lets prepare now) Anybody have concerns? Note them here, and maybe we can get some what to do answers? My first comment is I feel ICE will be there BLOCKS away from voting precincts, So what to do if they stop you asking for your personal identifications? I say just keep walking and ignore them, or call 911? Maybe have a number set up to get help, if you have any trouble on the way to vote? Anybody else have questions or concerns? We really need to be ready for anything, because we are gonna be hit with LOT'S of problems on the way to vote, in some areas.

1. Rather than attempt to reinvent the wheel...

I suggest checking out sites like Indivisible and Democracy Docket among others for resources and advice on your rights and how to stand up for them.

DUer Usonian has excellent posts with links to resources in the Activist Headquarters forum.

2. NJ 1981 Governors Race Example

Intimidation at the polls in NJ. I think they are actually going to try and terrify Blue Trifecta State Voters.

Vote early.

3. Yes, vote early for sure.

Don't trust post office. (in certain areas) I just feel ICE (or maybe other groups) will cause as much interference as they can.

10. You're wise to think that way

Without the VRA in full force - it's a free for all.

4. Bring in UN monitors.

5. Trump will have ICE inspect voters and demand papers before they join the queue - especially nonwhite voters

Democrats should consider this a certainty.

6. Agree.

9. Whatever Happens When It Warms Up In A Few Weeks

Will probably determine how elections go this fall. If life goes bad, I don't think what comes next will be anything you can work around with a passport, a ready iPhone livestream, and whistles.

If unstoppable force and immovable object haven't figured it out here by March, someone with an agenda will probably take some initiative, and I'd then guess we will be hearing a lot about "unprecedented" this and "unheard of in this generation" that in conjunction with November elections, pretty regularly in the media.

My guess is TACO moves on to a "friendlier" town before it warms up, if it doesn't look like he's going to lose here.

If someone torches something federal anywhere (not just a police precinct or a grocery store), I'd say all bets are off and things will get universally worse for everyone very quickly.
